Chapter 1061: Chapter 1061: Mysterious Man Behind The Scenes!
Tang Li Xue shook her head helplessly and murmured: "It would be really great if I had a passive divine ability that could reduce the energy consumption."
Of course, Tang Li Xue only dared to imagine having it, but she did not dare to imagine how expensive the price to buy that divine ability to reduce energy consumption would be.
Currently, Tang Li Xue has accumulated over 3600 Skill Points.
Even though more than 3600 Skill Points sounded like a lot, but Tang Li Xue thought it was still too few and far from enough to redeem what she wanted.
Tang Li Xue had already planned to save 20,000 Skill Points since long ago because she wanted to buy both [Unmatched Power] and [Unbreakable Defense].
Her [Super Speed] divine ability with its [Wings of Freedom] buff was extremely helpful for Tang Li Xue since it greatly increased her overall speed and also the effects of her other stats, which dramatically improved her survivability.
So, once Tang Li Xue’s accumulated Skill Points reached 10,000, she would definitely redeem either [Unmatched Power] or [Unbreakable Defense].
Tang Li Xue was pretty sure that [Super Speed], [Unmatched Power], and [Unbreakable Defense] were one set of divine abilities, so after she obtained all of them, she could combine those three into one extremely powerful divine ability!
Their price was extremely expensive, but it will definitely be worth it compared to purchasing several cheaper divine abilities.
"I also need another 1,000 Skill Points to upgrade my basic [All Knowing Eyes] and 1,250 Skill Points to upgrade my [Ethereal Form]. So poor... I am really so damn poor!" Tang Li Xue thought frustratedly.
"Sigh, let’s just forget that and focus on my task for now." Tang Li Xue sighed as she began to search for the Spatial Displacement Formation.
Tang Li Xue did not want to waste too much of her time looking for the hidden Spatial Displacement Formation, so she immediately activated her [Fiery Bright Eyes].
Her topaz blue eyes were glowing with mysterious golden light as she carefully scanned her surroundings.
It did not take long for her to find the hidden Spatial Displacement Formation with her [Fiery Bright Eyes].
It was actually located very near the Crimson Barrier and right under the Imperial Palace’s wall.
Of course, this hidden Spatial Displacement Formation was just one of the corners of the complete Spatial Displacement Formation.
Since the hidden Spatial Displacement Formation was covered with Concealing Formation, it would be very hard for others to find it.
If Tang Li Xue did not use her [Fiery Bright Eyes] and only relied on her [Extrasensory Perception], then it might take a lot more time for her to find it.
Tang Li Xue took one of the spatial stones given by Xu Yang.
Tang Li Xue planned to replace the depleted spatial stone in the Spatial Displacement Formation with a new one, but she found out that there were actually two spatial stones working as the core of the Spatial Displacement Formation!
Among the two spatial stones working as the core of the Spatial Displacement Formation, only one of them was completely depleted, while the other one was still as good as new.
WEEEEENG—!
Then, the Spatial Displacement Formation suddenly lit up with mysterious light!
Tang Li Xue was already very wary when she approached the Spatial Displacement Formation, so as soon as the formation was lit, she hastily used her [Moonlight Flickering Dance Step] plus [Wind Burst Step] to quickly get away from the formation!
The light emitted by the Spatial Displacement Formation formed into a projection of a mysterious man covered in a black cloak!
When the mysterious man in a black cloak saw Tang Li Xue, she immediately exclaimed in surprise: "Why is it you?!"
The mysterious man in a black cloak coughed to calm herself down and said again: "So, you have come this far, young one."
But different from her previous voice, which sounded sweet and feminine, the mysterious man had changed her voice to hoarse, so it became hard to recognize her.
Tang Li Xue: "....."
"I never expected you could come this far and find my hidden formation so soon..." The mysterious man talked again.
Tang Li Xue interrupted the mysterious man’s words halfway: "Err, Miss Shao Ying... Isn’t it already too late for you to change your voice now?"
The mysterious man: "....."
The mysterious man took off her black hood, revealing a charming face with fox ears on the top of her head.
Yes, this mysterious man was actually Shao Ying, the Fox Clan’s Information Agent Chief of the Great Wei Dynasty.
"Why is it you?! Here I thought I could play the role of the mysterious man behind the scenes and instigate more conflicts between the Great Wei Dynasty with the other neighboring dynasties." Shao Ying complained unhappily.
Tang Li Xue’s pink lips twitched slightly when she heard Shao Ying’s words.
It was not enough for Shao Ying to mess up this entire Imperial Palace of the Great Wei Dynasty so badly; she even wanted to instigate a great war between the Great Wei Dynasty against the other neighboring dynasties!
"Miss Shao Ying, isn’t it too much for you to do it this far? Just how many innocent people would die because of this incident?!" Tang Li Xue questioned Shao Ying coldly.
Shao Ying stared at Tang Li Xue in an astonished expression for a few moments.
"You... Ah, I see... So, you are that kind of fox. What should it be called again? Pacifist fox?" Shao Ying chuckled in amusement.
Tang Li Xue frowned deeply in displeasure, but she still glared coldly at Shao Ying.
Shao Ying nodded and continued to say: "No wonder Miss Bookkeeper thinks that you can seduce that cold human leader. I also think only a Pacifist fox like you can melt that iceberg man’s heart."
"A stunningly beautiful fox with a pure and innocent heart... Tsk, tsk, tsk, no matter how cold-hearted, rational, and ruthless he is, he definitely could not help but fall helplessly for your pomegranate skirt." Shao Ying clicked her tongue in amazement.
But when Shao Ying’s words entered Tang Li Xue’s ears, it sounded more like an insult instead, so Tang Li Xue became even more unhappy since she thought Shao Ying mocked her for being oblivious, stupid, and only relying on her beauty.
Shao Ying could easily read Tang Li Xue’s dissatisfaction toward her from Tang Li Xue’s expression, so she asked Tang Li Xue instead: "How many beasts from our Beast Race have been killed by humans on this Azure Mist Continent in the past 100 years?"
Shao Ying’s sudden question caught Tang Li Xue off guard, so she subconsciously asked back instead: "Eh, what?"
"The answer is more than ten billion beasts from our Beast Race have been wiped out by the Human Race in the past 100 years." Shao Ying answered her own question while staring intensely at Tang Li Xue.
"Then I will ask you again, how many people do you think will die after this incident? One hundred thousand? One million? Ten million? Can that number be compared to ten billion?" Shao Ying muttered to Tang Li Xue again.
"That is..." Tang Li Xue no longer knew what to say to Shao Ying.
"Miss Tang, I do not know what kind of relationship our Fox Clan has with the Human Race on your Lightwind Continent, but in this Azure Mist Continent, the enmity between our Beast Race and the Human Race has reached an irreconcilable point." Shao Ying explained to Tang Li Xue.
"Do you know the reason why Feng Shuang and Feng Ying are so loyal to Ji Xuanming?"
"Feng Shuang and Feng Ying’s parents were killed by humans, and the moment when Feng Shuang and Feng Ying were almost killed by humans too, it was Ji Xuanming who saved them in the end."
"It is okay for you to say something to defend the Human Race in front of Miss Bookkeeper or me, but if you say it in front of Feng Shuang, Feng Ying, or the other Beast Race, they would definitely turn against you on the spot." Shao Ying warned Tang Li Xue in a stern tone.
Tang Li Xue’s expression changed from shock to sadness, and then to helplessness, after she heard Shao Ying’s warning.
"You do not need to replace the spatial stones on the Spatial Displacement Formation. I have already put on another set of spatial stones on every corner of Spatial Displacement Formation beforehand." Shao Ying explained to Tang Li Xue.
"Our plan is not to kill that Xu Yang after all, so of course, I would not do something to put you or him in danger. Now, it’s your turn to persuade that cold guy to take the throne and become the next emperor of the Great Wei Dynasty." Shao Ying chuckled and said to Tang Li Xue in a reassuring tone.
Tang Li Xue was very embarrassed after she heard Shao Ying’s full explanation.
"I am sorry... Miss Shao Ying... I just..." Tang Li Xue murmured softly in hesitation.
Shao Ying sighed. She knew Tang Li Xue was kindhearted, but sometimes, inappropriate kindness would only backfire.
"It is all right. You do not need to explain it to me." Shao Ying uttered to Tang Li Xue.
"You are nice and kind... just like a piece of white paper without any stain, but it would be very easy to dye such white paper to black once something untoward happens."
"Of course, I hope it will never happen, and you can maintain your innocence and kindness forever." Shao Ying honestly gave her advice to Tang Li Xue.
But Shao Ying’s advice was like a heavy hammer that struck into Tang Li Xue’s mind and heart!
